I have KDE-Plasma 6.3.4 running on Arch (kernel 6.14.4) on a vm under Proxmox. Whenever I connect to the vm via the KRDPServer tool, the KRDPServer process starts to consume memory until the kernel kill sht KRDPServer process. I can see it grabbing 32MB every second. The logs show two issues. One is not being able to create a framebuffer and the other is QObject timers cannot be killed from another thread.

What can I do to stop this?
